I actually saw this report on a few other places on the net.
I don't know if the problem is as big as the report's making it out to be, but I'm sure they are mixing things up at Lucasarts. |

Incidentely, I don't give a crap about what Gamespot says. They're as guilty for rumour mongering as anyone else. Chances are this will be put into their "rumour-control" segment. They've screwed up before, they'll screw up again. |

Ziff: It's from Gamespot so I'd be inclined to believe the report.
Then again, saying that you're already delaying *3* when 2 hasn't come out... um... riiiiight. |

Funny that, KOTOR II is being developed by Obsidian, the first on was developed by Bioware.
Lucasarts was a publisher more than anything. I'm saying that this is just a stupid rumor that people are believing without real reason. When was the last time Lucasarts started laying off people around the globe, in other companies? Never. |

Wait....KOTOR II isn't even out yet....but still....bad news at LucasArts:
Star Wars games publisher confirms laying off staff and moving Episode III development off-site. KOTOR 3 development stalled.
Responding to yesterday's reports that it had laid off staff, LucasArts today said in a statement that it was undergoing "a major restructuring of its development studio." A notice on the company's Web site outlined some of the restructuring's details, including layoffs of 31 staffers and the appointment of Peter Hirschmann as vice president of product development. Hirschmann, a two-year LucasArts vet and former Electronic Arts producer, had been managing the development of Star Wars: Battlefront and Mercenaries.
The restructuring is the first major change to be officially announced by LucasArts since Jim Ward took over as its president. |
